I stepped out the house to get away from the raging Rachel standing in the doorway. I really didn’t want there to be a murder on this quiet street today especially.
“what do you want” I snap at him, not wanting to have this conversation at all. He crosses his arms over his chest staring at me. Why the fuck does he look angry shouldn’t it be me.
“A second chance” he says like it’s no big deal at all. Is he fucking with me right now does he really think he could ever get a second chance.
“I’ve realised that she’s not worth it I’ve been a wreck without you baby” he says stepping closer to me. He moved no further when my hand whipped out and pushed him back.
“Kristina, you know we’re meant be together” he grabs a hold of my wrist digging his fingers into my skin. The fucker that’s going to probably leave a mark.
“no we’re not, I was young and stupid to believe a single word you said to me” I had to keep my emotions together I didn’t want him to see the pain he put me through.
“like you could find someone better than me” he scoffs crossing his arms again. I had to rub my wrist from the discomfort it was giving me.
Wouldn’t he like to know.
“I already have” I say bracing myself for his reaction.
A gasp leaves my lips when he grabs a hold of my neck in his rough calloused hand and brought me closer to his body.
I struggled to breath, his hold was too much.
“stop, henry please” I begged him, feeling my face heat up. I was really scared at this point I didn’t think he would react like this.
“I am the only one for you, you slut already moving onto some pretty boy billionaire” he growls before dropping me leaving me to take big intakes of breath.
I coughed out closing my eyes wishing he would just leave me alone.
I was surprised to hear the sounds of a car speeding into my driveway. When I looked up I saw two figures march out of a big black car and advance towards henry.
I immediately recognised Tanner but I barely recognised the other guy.
The tall man took him by the neck slamming him into the wall. I gasped, this man was super strong.
“touch her again and we will come and kill you, you understand now get off her property before I call the police” he threatens henry before pushing him to the floor.
Tanner walked up to me kneeling down. I wasn’t able to get a word out I was still in awe.
He lifted me up in his strong arms before carrying me into my house where a shocked Rachel stood gaping at these two men.
The man set me down on the sofa before sitting down after Rachel gave them both a glass of water. They thanked her.
“who are you” I ask the other guy. Rachel coughed glaring at me.
“it’s okay, we’re sorry for barging in like this but my names Eaton and obviously you know Tanner” he says.
Tanner looks at my reaction before laughing.
“seems like our boy Renzo didn’t tell her about you Eaton” he laughs taking sip of the water before placing it back down.
“Maybe so, I’m Loretta’s brother Eaton its great to finally meet you” he pulled out his hand for me shake.
“why were you here though” Rachel asks them, plonking herself next to me.
” i actually came here to meet you. My sister never stops talking about you and i wanted to meet you even though Lorenzo is hiding you. I didn’t expect to come into the scene we did though” yeah well I didn’t expect it either.
“thank you for that, I didn’t know what I would have done if you didn’t show up” they smile at me.
The guys gave me their numbers before driving off back to the city they said they had some things to sort out. Safe to say this was a very interesting meeting.
I have to get to Lorenzo first before they tell him, he’ll probably be really pissed if he hears it from them two.
Unfortunately for me Renzo is not picking up his phone, I told his assistant to tell him to call me back once he’s finished so hopefully I can talk to him soon.
The girls haven’t left the toilets yet and I’m wondering if I should check on them.
Luckily after a few moments they all filed out.
We’ve been shopping for 3 straight hours now and as much as I love shopping I’m so done with it.
Rachel has been taking poor Marcia round the shops making her try on clothing after clothing.
” do you think this is going to be the last one” cia whispers as Rachel bends down to pick out some more shoes.
“I doubt it ” I say pushing her forwards so she can try on the clothes. I honestly feel so sorry for her but I think secretly she’s enjoying it. Rachel has a very good eye I keep telling she should be a personal shopper but she’d rather buy the clothes for herself only.
I’ve managed to avoid the conversation with Marcia all morning but as we sit in the food court eating at our food I’m guessing by the look on her face she’s going to want to know.
“I’ve never seen my brother so happy I’m not going to lie to you Tina” she says while she wipes her hands on a napkin.
“he’s always been so serious it’s refreshing to see him like this” I can’t deny it but it makes me happy knowing that I could be the reason.
I haven’t spoken to him since this morning, I know Hes got meetings and then a shoot today so he probably won’t be done until late tonight.
“when I told him, I was going shopping with you today he laughed at me, how annoying” she tells us laughing to herself. She’s warmed up to us now she seems a lot more comfortable.
“what did he find funny” Tasha asks her, confused its clear on her features.
“beats me” she shrugs her shoulders unknown to the reason.
“I’ve always been working I haven’t had time to go shopping with girls. I had a hard time making honest friends before because of my parents and now my brother” we all listened carefully. I notice the solemn expression.
We all thought her life was amazing but I couldn’t imagine having “friends” just because of your status.
“that’s crazy, I’m not just saying this but your really cool if you ever need to hang out, have some girly time just come over” Tasha nods her head agreeing with what Rachel was saying.
“maybe just notify us first, rach and her boo are a little sex crazed” I wink at her, getting my point across loud and clear.
“like you’re any better” Rachel barks back at me. I’m pretty sure I’m blushing. I thought cia would be disgusted with that comment but instead she just smiles.
“what about you have you got someone” I ask turning my attention back to her. She smiles down at her lap before grabbing her phone.
She slides it along the table and there was a picture of her and this guy who I assume was her special person.
“he’s an artist in London I met him through university, we’re actually engaged” she says dropping a huge bomb on us.
We all stare at her our mouths wide open. Is she for real, engaged why don’t I know this already.
“when did that happen” Tasha asks her. That’s a good point.
“2 weeks ago, I haven’t even told my parents yet” she fiddles with her hands as she says this. She’s nervous its clear as day. I wonder if Lorenzo knows.
“he doesn’t know either” cia says looking at me, I have to admit that surprised me, from what I know these two are super close.
“I want to surprise them, Andre is going to do this big piece that’s going to be public, I’m really excited for it” she says, her voice filled with excitement. That’s beautiful I can’t wait for that I’m sure they will all be very excited.
It was nice to get to know cia and also to know her little secret but she had a meeting to so we had to cut our day short. Not that any of us were complaining. My feet are aching from all the bloody walking.
I took an uber down to the other side of the city. I had to speak to Lorenzo I don’t think waiting would be a good idea. I also am scared so I wanted to report henry to someone.
Marcia said it would be good if I hired at least one body guard to keep an eye on me. She was horrified when I told her what happened.
I really didn’t expect it, I can’t believe that he would go and actually try to hurt me.
I walked into the building heading to the reception desk when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I spun around and met the brown eyes of Nathaniel.
“Kristina dear “he brings me in for a hug to which I accept.
I laughed a little when he grabbed my wrist and twirled me around. The laughter was short lived when he pressed down on my wrist. Lucky for me he noticed my reaction immediately.
For goodness sake.
Before Nathaniel could even get a word out we heard the booming sound of Lorenzo in the doorway. My eyes flicked over and I cursed when I saw his angry gaze. He had Eaton standing behind him and his security guard standing next to hm.
“I’m going to kill him” he says storming over to me. Nathaniel steps back so he could get to me.
Before Lorenzo could make a scene in front of everyone I pulled him over into the room he just came out of. Hoping it’s his office.
“you’re not going to do anything Renzo” I said to him as he held my wrists gently. His eyes glanced up at mine.
“don’t be stupid Tina, what if he comes back” he snaps at me. I wasn’t to bothered about him snapping at me. But I wasn’t going to let it pass. I think my glare was enough for him to pipe down.
“if he does ill have security, he’s just annoyed that he couldn’t have me back just like that” I even clicked my fingers.
“you’ll get security” he asks surprised.
“yes, can you find me someone I don’t really know anyone” I ask him, I gather he will quickly get me someone who can look out for me.
His eyes brightened with the fact I wasn’t outing up a fight against getting security. If it’s about my own safety I’ll do anything.
Lorenzo was stressed I could sense it. He removed his suit jacket from his shoulders rolling them back before leaning in his seat.
I walked over and leaned against his desk. He grabbed my wrist peppering a kiss that made me smile. He can be super sweet at times.
I straddled him and ran my fingers through his hair. He closed him eyes enjoying the feeling I was giving him. I was glad that I could help relieve his stress.
“I’ve missed you” he whispers placing his hand against my cheek. I leaned towards him and kissed his lips, I just wanted him to kiss me even if it was just a short one.
“how much” I whisper leaning back. He smirks at me before pushing me back leaving me to lay on his desk. He moved his hands up my legs to rest on my hips.
Lorenzo couldn’t even reach my lips when we both heard a knock on his door. He moaned in annoyance before lifting me to the side.
“your about as sex crazed as your father” Eaton says happily strolling in. He was holding some papers in his hand and smacked them on the desk.
“got some worthy ones in this pile Renzo, the beautiful blonde looks right for the job” he says winking at me.
This is Loretta’s brother.
“remind me why I let you in here” Renzo says glaring at Eaton. He doesn’t seem fazed by his stare, not really.
Eaton ignores that comment before turning to face me. I smoothed my shirt down before smiling at him. “are you okay” his kind words reach me.
“thanks to you I’m fine, don’t be so rude Lorenzo” I say glaring at him. Eaton looks pleased with my tone directed to Lorenzo.
“I can’t wait to tell Loretta, Jesus girl you are my hero” he laughs loud enough for the whole building to hear. Eaton finally leaves the office. Renzo lightly bangs his head on the table.
“he used to be less of an asshole when he was younger I’m told” I highly doubt that.
Hes still quite young though he doesn’t look much older than Lorenzo.
I only just got a light kiss from Lorenzo when Eaton popped his head back in.
“mum wants you guys at the house, we’re having dinner there” he tells us before leaving the room, his laugh lingering around.
“perfect” he mutters before grabbing his stuff and leading us both out to the lobby. Everyone was leaving already they even asked us to drive with them but Lorenzo was adamant to not go with them.
Nathaniel laughed at his son’s reaction before walking out of the door.
